English term

crunchy peanut butter

English to Spanish Other Food & Drink
For "peanut butter" we will use "mantequilla de maní", although I am aware that there are other alternatives. The issue is with "crunchy". "Crujiente" or "crocante" do NOT work in my opinion, since the product itself does not crunch. It simply means that small pieces of peanut are mixed in with the product.

Chauchas No, no, está bien José. Todos los comentarios son bienvenidos y te los agradezco mucho, pues uno va aprendiendo. La verdad es que a veces uno vacila bastante en tomar estas decisiones, sobre todo cuando se trata del mítico "español de Estados Unidos." En mi casa también comemos ejotes (mi esposa es guatemalteca). Pero mis vecinos argentinos comen "chauchas" y, lo que es más divertido aún, ¡untan su pan con "manteca"!
José J. Martínez Feb 10, 2012:
Many of the larger stores especially the one that starts with W are putting the translation into SP for many of the things they sell...however, one feels that it is a forced thing sometimes... I just went to my pantry and found these as examples ... Fruit cocktail in heavy syrup... Cóctel de frutas en almibar (in Mexico it is Coctel, not Cóctel, and they din not translate the "heavy" part). Sliced peaches plus description, les llaman duraznos en tajadas para mi son gajos. Green beans les llaman Chauchas ????.

No te quiero discutir, solo hacer observaciones... de niño no conocía yo el "blue cheese" y ahora le sigo llamando blue cheese y no queso azul... en fin, si no es meritoria la traducción, creo que no hay que hacerla porque ahora tengo que ir al diccionario para saber por que a los ejotes (green beanss) les llaman chauchas...
Alan Lambson (asker) Feb 10, 2012:
To translate or not? Thanks José. Yes, it is a difficult call. I live in the USA and my wife is a native Spanish-speaker (from Central America), so we are in constant contact with people of many national backgrounds, including Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. I agree that many people would just say "peanut butter", but many others (most I think) would say mantequilla de maní (or cacahuate). It's a constant challenge that we face when translating materials into the mythical "US Spanish". The original translator of the piece that we were editing, obviously from a land far in the South, had written "manteca de cacahuate crujiente". Personaly I like my lard smooth, not crunchy! Thanks again to all!
José J. Martínez Feb 10, 2012:
MHO is that if it is for the US of A...disregard putting it in SP. It will be just peanut butter... that is all. I thought it was going somewhere else... I do not think you need to translate it.
Alan Lambson (asker) Feb 10, 2012:
Thanks to all Dear collegues, thank you for your help! I failed to mention that the destination country is the USA, and even though Mexico is our greatest source of immigrants, I chose to avoid a term that is too regional. I have opted for "mantequilla de maní con trozos". I'll award the points to the first person who gave that suggestion, though all of your inputs were most useful.
Henry Hinds Feb 10, 2012:
CONTEXT Destination country is important CONTEXT because as you are probably aware, peanuts do not have the same name in Spanish everywhere.

Hola Amiga; if you're a PB fan (like me) check out "The Elvis" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut_butter,_banana_and_bacon... (Just make sure you don't overdue it , or you may end up looking like the the latter (overweight) King. eski :))

Hi Margie: thanks to the "Dollar" (name withheld, but it starts with a "W") grocery stores, even poor translators (like me) in Mexico can stock up on PB for about a buck per jar(!) Saludos. eski :))

mantequilla de maní/cacahuete con tropezones

http://es.paperblog.com/mantequilla-de-cacahuete-721746/
"Si se prefiere encontrar la mantequilla con tropezones, se pueden añadir pedazos de cacahuete picado a la crema"

http://www.gastronomiaycia.com/2008/09/29/crema-de-cacahuete...
Lo ideal para hacer la crema de cacahuete casera, también conocida como mantequilla de maní,//Tritura hasta obtener una crema o mantequilla con la textura deseada. Si utilizas un robot potente obtendrás una mantequilla más fina, o quizá te gusta la crema de cacahuete con tropezones, que igualmente puedes añadir picando en el mortero unos cuantos cacahuetes y añadiéndolos después a la crema.

HIH, A.

It does depend on the target country... This is for Spain, Europe.

Maybe used in other countries too.

Peer comment(s):
agree jacana54 (X) : "con tropezones" sounds so wonderful Anne! This option has been recommended to me by my team-mate Zuli Fernández who is a specialist in gastronomy. But I understand that it may not be what the asker needs for her target market.
